Performance and Testing of REST API

  • July 23, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
There are tabs for hostroy and saved collections which are folder like structure of Same type of API calls. It supports All the HTTP calls, like POST, GET, DELETE, PUT, etc. Postman has great feature of providing request data and endpoints. You also can specify what type of data this request is carrying.
What do you dislike about the product?
Postman is great tool with great capabilities. It even generated code for the specified languages of request. So there is nothing to dislike about postman.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used postman mostly for testing of API developed by me or other team members. I used it to measure performance and security of API. Postman helped me avoid some security flows and boosted performance of API.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I advice students mostly who have not even heard or used postman. While developing assignments and semester projects you can get extra help from Postman to test your APIs and start further development. It is mostly used in organization level. but anyone can use it as it is simple to learn on first sight of it.

Postman Delivers

  • July 16, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to save your queries to quickly resend them are useful when testing large systems. But whats better - Postman has such a beautiful User Interface! It is clear, easy to navigate, and prioritises important functions. By taking all of the confusion out of navigating their interface, the team at Postman have given us a product that not only works flawlessly, but doesn't confuse us as users!
What do you dislike about the product?
It might just be me, but Postman seems to run with an abnormally high RAM usage for such a small application, especially when idle in the background. Aside from that, the limit on the number of free calls seems like a lot (1000), until you use it up, which I have done on occasion when building APIs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman allows easy testing of APIs, either to test functionality of an API you plan on using, or to test one that you are building yourself. Having the ability to quickly and easily send and receive messages, and inspect them also, has been a game changer. I have saved so much time by quickly spinning up Postman to verify if something is working as expected. Postman doesn't disappoint!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it. Postman doesn't disappoint. And its free! Whats not to love?

Postman

  • July 16, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Postman is a very easy to use and lightweight tool for APIs. We are using this for API testing. Its has programming features which allows to write code to generate values in Pre Requisite or Test scripts. It also has Global or environment variables concept which is handy.

We can create test cases with validations and can schedule the execution using Runner. The free version of Postman itself is sufficient for small teams.

Postman's Newman plugin is used for command line integration and it helps to integrate with automation tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version allows only few number of API requests for a team. Newman can make it more easier to implement and use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman made API testing very simple and easy
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a simple and powerful tool for API testing, then this is the perfect tool for you.

Easy way to verify security and performance of API

  • July 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Postman is very interactive and reduces the amount of code you have to deal with. If you are familiar with the basic concepts surrounding API, then exploratory testing is very easy to do. Automated processes are also possible but these do require more experience.

Besides it has a really nice interface, with the option of having a black background in order to reduce the strain on your eyes, which is handy when you spend several hours testing the performance of APIs in development.
What do you dislike about the product?
Postman so far has performed as I expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using Postman to improve my company's web commerce front end, and making sure the data collection is done securely and efficiently. I have also come to realize that many websites don't secure their APIs, which is an interesting analysis made through Postman tools.

Easy API testing with the help of Postman

  • June 16, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about postman is that I can simply use it as a Chrome browser extension; no need for separately download and configure an exe file. Apart from this, Postman has an automatic syncing feature which surely provides consistency in development. Publishing and debugging APIs in postman is very simple for even beginners. UI has good features that I can simultaneously work in APIs belong to different projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in the postman that I dislike. Although some issues were there in the previous version regarding performance, after version 6 it has been solved and optimized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman is a primary tool for us to do API testing(manual testing), as well as developers, can use API created and see their request and response structure without disturbing DB administrator.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Postman is a very cost-effective tool for API management, and even with the basic version, you can do pretty much almost. It really saves a lot of time and effort we put in the testing of live APIs. must consider this in the organization.

Great experience with Postman, easy to use and most comfortable app to work with API, to execute scripts and check kind of responses.
